. Wu Wa'er said worriedly: "I don't know...... Your name? ”

"He ......" Tang Yanyan glared at Wu Wa'er and said: "He has the same surname as you little slippery head, hmph, the surname Yang is really not a good person." ”

Wu Wa'er's heart was shocked: "Oh no, it's really her, she must be Miss Tang, it turns out that the officials misunderstood her, Miss Tang didn't cling to the powerful to find Gao Zhi'er." At that time, the official only said that she had empathized and said goodbye, where would she ask if she agreed? It's miserable, she's coming to me with a lot of momentum, how can I deal with it? ”

Tang Yanyan said hatefully: "That big bastard with no conscience is now on the big official ship that the imperial court went south to Jianghuai, this girl catches up, I must ask the negative person face to face if he is sorry, I also want to take a look at that fox spirit, see what kind of fox tricks she has, and fascinate my family officials!" ”

Wu Wa'er's face was pale, Tang Yanyan looked at her appearance, and hurriedly comforted: "What I said is true, you now know that I am not a gangster who does evil, by the way, what is your identity, girl, why did a woman disguise herself as a man and go to Jianghuai." ”

Wu Wa'er was taken aback and blurted out: "Ah! I...... I'm just chasing him south. ”

"He? Which is he? ”

"What ...... him", Wu Wa'er changed her mind quickly, and said quietly: "The slave family was originally a Bianliang family, and a son became an enemy by mistake, that son is smart and wise, has a noble character, has an export chapter, and has a talent for poetry in seven steps, and the slave family has suffered several big losses in his hands, but he also admired him. ”

She said that the son had a talent for writing a chapter and a poem in seven steps, Tang Yanyan didn't think about his own Langjun at all, and heard her say that they made enemies first, but they hated because of hatred, remembering that they were bathing in Puji Temple, but they were peeped at by Yang Hao, and hated that they chased and killed all the way, and her experience was very similar, and she couldn't help but feel cordial, and said with a smile: "You girl is only a few years old, and she actually has a spring heart, but ...... I feel sorry for you like this, and if you put on women's clothes, I don't know how many men will be killed, that person will definitely like you. ”

Wu Wa'er bowed slightly, and said shamefully: "That son...... I feel affectionate, but I also have affection for me. In fact, the slave family is from a humble background, and it is not a big family, and I know that with my identity, it is difficult to find such a good match, and it is difficult to be the main room of the family, and I am willing to live in the concubine room. But...... The son's family has already set a family affair, I heard that the eldest woman is very powerful, and the slave family does not know how long they can get together with the officials. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Wa'er was already in tears, and it was even more pitiful. Her tears were half fake, half true. She is a new wife, and it is the time of love and sweetness, and she is full of longing and joy. As for Yang Hao's determination to marry another wife in the future, she is not worried, because she is Yang Hao's concubine before marrying his wife, and she must be recognized.

There are many people in the world who take concubines before marrying a wife, such as the Xu Juren in Bazhou who once wanted to marry Ding Yuluo as his wife, who has already accepted two concubines, and such concubines are protected by the law. However, if the husband has a wife, then the concubine needs to be approved by the wife, and Zhang Xinglong, the leader of the Bianhe Gang, has a lot of trouble at home, and his wife doesn't nod, then Sayuri Fukuda just can't enter the door, and that's why.

Now that Tang Yanyan has appeared, she has not changed her mind, with Yang Hao's temperament, once she learns the truth, she will only respect and love her, at that time she is a big woman and relies on Yang Hao's respect, if she beats the mandarin duck and insists on refusing to admit her identity, what should she do? Thinking of this, Wu Wa'er's heart was in turmoil, and her heart was indeed sad.

Tang Yanyan saw her tears, remembering that when Yang Hao and Zheziyu were in love, he was lovesick and no one paid attention to him, and he was humiliated several times, and under the sympathy of the same disease, he was more sympathetic to her, so he persuaded softly: "Look at you delicate, such a beauty is devoted to him, that is his blessing." You have a deep affection for him, and he dares to let you down? If you are liked by him, I believe that his wife will not be too difficult for you. ”

Wu Wa'er said with tears in her eyes: "The slave family ...... Now I can only look forward to it, alas, I am afraid that she will insist on refusing to do it, and my Langjun will also be embarrassed, and then ......"

Tang Yanyan said angrily: "Isn't it enough for you to beg yourself like this, if she can't tolerate you, she is narrow-minded and jealous of the immoral." ”

Tang Yanyan remembered that Xiao Fan Lou Zhong Ziyu showed generosity to her in front of Yang Hao, but behind her back, she was so angry that she almost vomited blood; When she really had a relationship with Yang Hao, she was jealous and walked away, which made Yang Hao depressed, and she was frightened all day long, until Yang Hao was going to leave his post and go to Beijing, so she had the courage to see him.

She was furious, and said righteously: "If that woman is really so arrogant, jealous, and unreasonable, she has committed the seven rules, are you afraid that she will not be able to cure her?" Tell me what you are doing, I don't want others to be bullied, and I'll help you with a plan. ”

Wu Wa'er was stunned for a while, took her hand and said, "The girl is so good to me, the slave family really doesn't know how to thank you." The slave family has neither brothers nor sisters, if you don't dislike it, I am willing to marry you with Jinlan, I don't know what you think? ”

Tang Yanyan was overjoyed when she heard it, there were some stinky men in her family, and there were many brothers, but not only did there not be one sister, but those brothers were all older than her, and she was the eldest in the family, and now there was such a little girl with pink makeup who wanted to worship her sisters, how could she not like it in her heart, and nodded again and again.

Wu Wa'er took advantage of the situation to strike iron, and when she was pulled to bow, Tang Yanyan said: "If you want to bow down, when it comes to tooth order, I am exactly seventeen years old this year, I don't know how old you are?" ”

Wu Wa'er punned: "No matter how you look at me, I am younger than you, and I will recognize you as my sister from now on." ”

Tang Yanyan was happy, pinched her pink and tender face, and said with a smile: "I have a clever mouth, hehe, but I have to tell my real name and surname, and when it comes to the birth of the tooth order, I have become a sister today, and I am a sister all my life, if you have any difficulties, my sister will always help you." ”

Wu Wa'er said movingly: "My sister is gentle and virtuous, reasonable, graceful, and kind-hearted, if my lady in the main room of Langjun's mansion has half of my sister's good character, my sister will be content." ”

Tang Yanyan was a little embarrassed by her praise, and said coyly: "Have you already seen the talented lady's wife?" Is she a rude person? ”

Wu Wa'er said: "My sister has never seen her, there is a girl who knows her, and the girl said to me that the lady of my family official surnamed Tang has a short temper, a fierce temperament, jealousy and immorality, and her heart is uneasy when she thinks about it. ”

Tang Yanyan smiled and smiled, and said in a lost voice: "What did you say, who did you listen to?" ”

Wu Wa'er looked innocent, blinked and said, "Miss Yu Zhe, does my sister recognize her?" ”

Tang Yanyan's two charming thin eyebrows slowly erected, two clusters of flames ignited in his eyes, Wu Wa'er took a step back, and saw Tang Yanyan gritting his teeth, almost madly said: "Temperamental, fierce, jealous and immoral, fists and feet, I ...... Is I, Tang Yanyan, such an unbearable person? What else did she choreograph me? ”

Wu Wa'er was "shocked" and said, "Sister, you ...... What do you say is your name? ”

On this day, ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※, the official ship arrived at the ferry port of Changqiao Town, and then went to Sizhou City. Sizhou City is located on the shore of Hongze Lake, is the water and land metropolis, Xu Pi to chong, a very important wharf of the Bianhe River transport, the same as Yangzhou, is a very prosperous place in the Jianghuai region, the boats and boats gather, the carriages and horses gather, the city is prosperous, and the humanities gather. In such a critical place, Zhao Dezhao, the king of Wei, had to anchor here for a while anyway to inspect the local situation.

Therefore, the official ship stopped for a while at the long bridge ferry, so that people went ashore to buy some seasonal vegetables and vegetables, everyone took a short rest, and continued to hurry, Bisu inquired all the way to the ferry at this time, and then took out the token and boarded the boat to meet Yang Hao, and continued to rush with the boat.

Bisu told Yang Hao everything he saw on the way about the grain gentry taking advantage of the fire to loot and hoard grain and grass, and said angrily: "My lord, these people are too inhumane, my lord should ask the king of Wei for an order and punish him severely." ”

Yang Hao smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Bisu, you thief also knows to have mercy on the people, it can be seen that those unrighteous grain gentry took advantage of the fire to rob and make a windfall, which is really angry and resentful." However, even a pile of manure has its use, and these grain gentry bullies are also of great use now, and they can't be rushed. ”

He paced slowly in the cabin, and said in a deep voice: "When they transport the grain into Beijing and make money, they will play the role of showing up and luring more grain gentry from near and far to hit the idea to Bianliang, and they will spare no effort to help the imperial court complete this impossible task, just like ants moving, transporting the huge amount of grain and grass needed by the Beijing division to the capital." The sweetness is always tasted by some of the first to be tasted, and only by letting them taste the sweetness can we make more greedy profiteers suffer a big pain."

Bi Su said angrily: "Seeing them doing such evil deeds, I can't let go of it in my heart. I was originally a thief, and everyone shouted and beat me for stealing a few small pieces of money, but they were all big thieves, and they blatantly plundered people's property. ”

Yang Hao said with a smile: "Bear with it for a while, if you want to fish, you have to put some bait." ”

He patted Bisu on the shoulder and said: "You have been running back and forth all the way, it is very hard, drink a cup of tea first, rest in my cabin for a while, the ship is heading to Sizhou City, where it will dock for a few days, then you will rush in advance to visit the official customs and people all the way." ”

Yang Hao settled down and walked out of the room, only to see Cheng Yu and others pointing at the bow of the boat, Yang Hao walked over, only to see the paddy fields on both sides of the road, Qianmo vertical and horizontal, it seems that this year's wind and rain are smooth, and the grain will be harvested. As soon as he saw Yang Hao coming, Cheng Yu smiled at him: "Yang Yuan's envoy, now that he has entered the territory of Sizhou, you see that this grain is growing so well, and a bumper harvest is in sight, and the grain reserves of Sizhou Mansion can be transported to the capital with confidence." ”

Yang Hao also nodded again and again, and said: "This Sizhou is close to the left, there are many large and small water sources, as long as there is no pest pest, agriculture will naturally prosper, Chitose is going to stay in Sizhou for a few days, have you ever sent someone to inform him that he is ready to greet him?" ”

Cheng Yu said: "Chitose doesn't like extravagance, and has repeatedly instructed the people not to disturb the people along the way, if it is notified early, Sizhou will inevitably gather a large number of gentry and celebrities, wearing red and hanging colors, and welcoming ten miles away, which is too public, so I have not sent someone to inform the prefect Deng in advance." ”

Yang Hao said: "Is the surname of the prefect of Sizhou Deng?" I don't know how this person is an official? ”

Cheng Yu paused slightly, and said lightly: "This person, I heard that he is strict and harsh, and he is good at figuring out and catering to his intentions, but in this Sizhou office, I haven't heard of any special deeds." ”

Fang Zhengnan faintly heard a voice on the side, and walked over casually: "Sizhou prefect Deng Zuyang is a three-year Qiande two list of jinshi, successively served as the chief secretary of Yanggu County, Xindu County Order, Nanjing Yingtianfu judge, not only can bow to government affairs, but also capable and shrewd, now he has been the prefect of Sizhou for two years, loyal to the country, fair and honest, is a rare capable minister, Yang Yuan envoy might as well make friends." ”

Since the last time Yang Hao brushed Murong Qiu's drunken face in front of him, everyone knew that the name of this Yang Yuan envoy was indeed worthy of his reputation, Cheng Yu and Cheng Dexuan were a little more affectionate to him, and often invited him to drink together and say something considerate, and the people of Zhao Pu's family were also much more polite to him, lest he collide on the spot and not be able to get off the stage, so on the surface, everyone was a harmonious group and seemed to be much more harmonious.

As soon as Yang Hao saw that the evaluations of these two people were very different, he knew that he must be involved in the dispute between the two Zhaos, and sure enough, as soon as Fang Zhengnan walked away, Cheng Dexuan sneered: "Deng Zuyang was picked up by Zhao Xianggong, and in their eyes, this surnamed Deng is naturally a capable official." ”

Although Yang Hao is now clearly on Zhao Guangyi's side, he is not in the habit of looking at people from the perspective of factions, and he is really not familiar with this Deng Governor's Mansion, so it is inconvenient to do more beaks.

The boat continued to move forward, about an hour or so, the river gradually became shallower, like such a huge and heavy official ship has been difficult to move forward, Cheng Yu said: "Sizhou City is next to Hongze Lake, and there has always been abundant rain, why is the river so shallow?" ”

As he was talking, a small boat came in front of him, and the person who was exploring the way forward boarded the boat and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, Sizhou is building a weir and sluice, and the river water is directed to other tributaries, so the big ship is no longer possible, and not far ahead is the wharf outside Sizhou City, please let His Royal Highness King Wei go ashore." ”

Cheng Yuqi said: "Build a weir? Sizhou City's movements are so fast? On the side, Fang Zhengnan and Murong Qiu were drunk, but their faces were proud. Everyone went to tell Zhao Dezhao, who heard that Sizhou had recruited civilian farmers to start building a weir so quickly, and he was also happy in his heart, so he immediately landed on foot.

Because this place is not far from the wharf, Zhao Dezhao did not sit in a sedan chair, he is also a person who has practiced martial arts since childhood, and his skills are strong, so he walked with the officials on the embankment and under the willows, all the way forward.

Not far ahead is the big wharf outside the city of Sizhou, most of the merchants who come and go here pick up the boat and land, get up early to hire a car, here is not only the heavy station of the transport, but also an important water and land port. Therefore, just like the Wazipo in the city of Tokyo, it has developed into a lively and prosperous suburban area with inns, restaurants, and sake breweries as the center, which is convenient for those who do not want to stay in the city.

When everyone arrived near the wharf, they saw that the upstream was really blocked, and a tributary was drawn from the left wing to keep the downstream water source unblocked, and the front of the wharf was being built because of the large difference in the water surface. The topography here, Yang Hao and others have seen on the water map, because the water surface difference is large, so in Sizhou City, a south and a north, there are two large wharves, the goods from the south are unloaded at the south wharf, through donkey carts and mule carts, or small boats passing through the city to the north wharf, and then loaded and transported by big ships, so it takes too long, and the nearby counties and towns have to transport grain to Tokyo through Sizhou, an important Caoyun pass, so it is listed here as an important project to build a weir dam sluice and adjust the water level.

It's just that Zhao Dezhao and others were not slow to get out of Beijing, and the officials of the Ministry of Industry only went one day earlier than them, Sizhou recruited all the civil servants to start construction in such a short period of time, and its efficiency was indeed extraordinary. But whoever is an official, as long as he is not crazy, he likes to work against his boss, who is not well-behaved in front of his boss, if he wants to make some political achievements in governing the locality, he must always touch the interests of some people, and if you want to say that he is strict, he will always have a handle to find.

On the wharf, thousands of migrant workers are in full swing in the silt of the river that has cut off the water source, some people are shoulder-to-shoulder, carrying a cart and a basket of silt out of the river, raising the river embankment, and there are bundles of bamboo mats resting on the embankment, and the bamboo cages are filled with sand and gravel.

The little official who supervised the work under the embankment inadvertently looked back, and saw a group of people standing under the willow on the embankment pointing there, so he climbed up from under the embankment, he patted the mud marks on the green clothes of the soap li, and saw that these people on the shore were all wearing official hats, and the middle one was actually wearing a python robe, and couldn't help but be a little confused, and asked eatingly: "You ...... Ladies and gentlemen, yes...... Who is it? ”

Before the subordinate officials could reply, Zhao Dezhao had already replied with a smile: "This king was ordered to patrol Jianghuai, and he just arrived here, you moved quickly, Sizhou Mansion has been damming the dam for a few days, according to this king, this progress is fast." ”

"Wang ...... Rajah? The prince is here? The prince is here! The little official retreated in a panic, stumbled, and rolled down the slope, and he was not in pain, but got up and ran, shouting as he ran: "My lord, my lord, the prince has arrived, and the Qin has arrived." ”

Cheng Yu couldn't help but smile: "We should go directly to the city to see Governor Deng's mansion, this time it is public, I am afraid that these little officials will surround and make noise." ”

The little official ran to the crowd, and after a while, he brought out a person, and the two hurried over, and when they got closer, the person looked at Zhao Dezhao, and couldn't help but show surprise, and hurriedly arched his hand: "I don't know that the king has arrived at a thousand years old, and the lower officials have missed the distance, and the prince forgives the sin." ”

Zhao Dezhao saw that this official was thirty-six or seventeen years old, with a thin face, eyebrows and eyes, a green silk placket tucked into his belt, and a pair of camel-yellow pants holding his trouser legs, splashed with mud, he first had a good impression, so he smiled and said: "Don't blame those who don't know, are you a servant of the Sizhou Mansion?" Your prefect, Lord Deng, is now in the yamen? ”

The man respectfully gave a salute and said solemnly: "Back to Chitose, the next official is Deng Zuyang." ”

Zhao Dezhao and the others couldn't help but be taken aback when they heard this.
